Portland Design Works Alexander Graham Bell

The Alexander Graham Bell is designed to fit standard handlebar diameters. If you have oversized bars or specific aero-shaped drop bars, you may need to check your handlebar diameter against the mounting clamp specifications before purchasing.

This bell produces a clear, resonant strike that is designed to be polite yet audible. It is intended for alerting pedestrians and other cyclists in shared spaces, rather than acting as a high-decibel warning device for heavy traffic.

Yes, the bell is built with durable materials meant to withstand the elements. While it is weather-resistant, a quick wipe-down after riding in heavy rain or snow will help maintain the finish and striking mechanism over time.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only a standard hex key or screwdriver, depending on the specific mounting hardware included. It is designed to be mounted quickly and securely to your handlebars without professional assistance.

The bell is designed to be versatile and can be mounted on either side of your handlebars. You should position it where your thumb can easily reach the striker without compromising your grip on the brake levers or shifters.
